Not far from The Rose sits Rose Street itself, and a few scant yards down from Cleveland Street sits the Duck and Swan, formerly a down-at-heel boozer with an image problem, the pub has been swept clean by a new-broom ownership and has smartened itself up into quite a nice comfortable little local.
We're sure once the edges are knocked off the new paintwork it'll mature into a good little boozer. The service is friendly, the prices are cheap and the selection is great - James Squire on tap for instance.
For my review I settled down round the corner with laptop and enjoyed the quiet, after having not ten minutes before been crammed into the front bar of The Rose with no elbow room it was a great change. It would seem the locals are a bunch of characters and we're planning on heading back at a weekend to give it a go.
and yes, apparently the place is haunted, to the extent that the former owners staged an exorcism, which apparently got rid of two of the invasive spirits but left at least one behind. It's been quiet on the supernatural front recently, we're told. Maybe the spooks are happy with the new look?
We recommend you give it a go if you're in the area for a quiet one or two. review by: Jason
